If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

Strava file shows him pedaling all the way up Cipressa so I doubt he went full Nibali mode. Probably just took a well timed bottle throw.

He could still be doing like 50 watts in granny gear.

If he was in an easy gear, then he'd be freewheeling at the speed needed to get a KOM, at which point it'd be 0W.

Ben Swift was overgeared, maybe could have won it. Glad he didn't, bad tactics from Sky again too. all Stannards attack did was make it harder for his teammates to get back on.

I like to believe that Stannard dislikes Sky enough that that was his intention.

People were gushing over Sagan and Fabs bike handling skills but Swift(y) did a pretty good job getting out from behind that and still almost won.

He was just on the right side of it. Anyway gently caress MSR it´s a weird boring race. Bring on ToF and PR. I´d like to see Stybar win one.

According to the organisers it's still on unless the terror alert is at max tomorrow. Sounds like that's the only factor and it's their aim to go ahead (max terror level calls for automatic cancellation of sporting events so it would be out of their hands).

Indeed, latest information says it's on unless so and so. Doesn't look like the level 4 will be lifted tomorrow however :/

After. The whole country has been put on alert level 4 (the highest), that means no public events.

Just shut the rest of the race down and let this bunch go at each other.
